Athey, J.E., Seitz, S.S., and DGGS Staff, 2017, Geologic Photos of Alaska: Alaska Division of Geological & Geophysical Surveys, http://doi.org/10.14509/29735.
Summary
The Geologic Photos of Alaska database and online application contains photographs taken during and in support of Alaska Division of Geological & Geophysical Surveys (DGGS) projects. These photographs primarily document field sites and geomorphology statewide, usually in remote locations that are often impossible or prohibitively expensive to revisit. The database (http://maps.dggs.alaska.gov/photodb/) includes a variety of images such as field photos, photos of samples, and photomicrographs (photograph of a microscopic object) taken with the aid of a microscope.

DGGS collects thousands of photographs as part of its field work each year. These photographs primarily document field sites and geomorphology statewide, usually in remote locations that are often impossible or prohibitively expensive to revisit. The database and application provide a vehicle to ensure the future safety and accessibility of the DGGS field photo collection.
